Multiple cars parked on sidewalk at firestone auto. 3rd and walnut.
Multiple cars parked on sidewalk at firestone auto. 3rd and walnut.
There are cars repeatedly parked on the sidewalk at Firestone Auto 3rd and Walnut. This is occurring on a daily basis. This is a busy intersection and a horrible place to force pedestrians into the road. The city needs to find a resolution to this problem. Sending a parking enforcement officer over does not seem to be working.
Cars parked on and blocking the sidewalk. Firestone Auto. 3rd and Walnut
I was downtown yesterday afternoon, and Firestone Auto had multiple vehicles stored/parked on the sidewalk. They are continually blocking the sidewalks at this location; there are multiple uReport cases at this address. Can the city do nothing to keep this downtown pedestrian corridor accessible?
A Parking meter appears to be missing at the handicap location on kirkwood by the graduate hotel.
Are people allowed to park large vehicles on the street? There is a delivery van that has been sitting in front of this house for several weeks. It is a large, white, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500. Also there is a boat that is sitting in the backyard of this property - see uReport #179060.
Who is the "Parking Services Director"? That person has unilaterally decided to issue a parking permit to a vehicle that is specifically prohibited by City Code. Specifically, "15.32.070 - Certain vehicles—Two-hour limit. No person shall allow a truck, trailer, tractor, bus, house, trailer, semi-trailer, dumpster, moving pod, or other vehicle having a load capacity in excess of one ton, or a length in excess of nineteen feet, or a height in excess of six feet six inches, or a width in excess of seven feet to be parked upon the streets of the city in excess of two hours unless authorized by the parking services director or his or her designee." The offending vehicle is a large, white, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 about 9 feet tall that is parked on the street all day and night, blocking views and creating an eyesore. The vehicle was issued a permanent City parking permit rather than a temporary one without explanation.
See case #183515. The problem still exists. The vehicle is there now. Please ask parking officer to drive by periodically and see that this vehicle (which I am told does not have a permit and, as the Code reads, it does not meet the criteria to have one) is regularly parked on the street, blocking lines of sight for traffic, etc.
A big, white delivery van parks here often. It leaks oil and has created an oil patch on the street out front.
